How to apply for a shared ownership property

You can view all of our shared ownership homes online. Once you’ve found one that you’re interested in, complete our shared ownership application form [PDF]. Send your completed form to nchasales@ncha.org.uk, and remember to include the name of the development on your application.

Your application

Homes are offered on a first come, first served basis. (There are occasional exceptions, for example in certain rural locations, or when an application comes from qualifying Armed Forces personnel.)

For your application to proceed, we will need to have received both your completed form AND an email from one of our mortgage advisors, confirming that you’ve met the minimum affordability criteria.

We’ll check your application, and if you’ve met all the criteria, a member of the Sales team will contact you. They will be able to hold your preferred property for 10 working days. During this period, you will need to complete a full affordability assessment with the panel mortgage advisor and send us your supporting documents.

Supporting documents

Depending on your circumstances, supporting documents may include:

  • Photo ID
  • Three months or 12 weeks wage slips, or if self employed, three years’ accounts
  • Proof of address
  • Proof of monies for deposit and if purchasing in cash. The funds must be in a UK bank account.
  • Letter regarding gifted funds (if applicable)
  • Proof of three months’ pension payments/statements.
